What are Flies Attracted to?

Flies in general are most like infiltrating your home in search of food and shelter. Flies could be a telltale sign of poor sanitation as they are attracted to rotting food and decaying matter.

Small House Flies Infestations

House flies are gray in color, bearing four dark stripes on their back. They usually reach approximately ¼” long. House flies have been clocked about five miles per hour, beating their primary pair of wings 200 times per second. Their secondary pair of wings, known as halters, looks more like a pair of drumsticks, and is used for balancing during flight. House flies are prone to sugary liquids and organic waste.

Fruit Flies in Kitchens & Bathrooms

Fruit flies are not only drawn to the sweet deliciousness of fruit and vegetables, but also quite enjoy indulging in wine and beer. Though they are more active in the fall to devour the fall harvest, they are living in doors all year long and not only intruding on residential homes, but will scurry inside grocery stores to get their fill of the fresh fruit and vegetables readily available.
